fix: reframe the gamma-cross bench for card-scale readability

The t=0 crimson panel kissed the left frame edge and read as a black slot
at card scale, the panel row was sparse, and the floor caption was
unreadable. The bench is now dense and fully inside the frame with
margins, and the caption material carries a faint self-glow so it
survives thumbnail scale. Render-path only; the check is untouched and
re-verified on 5.1.2 and 4.5.11.
